I wrote kill just before killall was pushed into your repo, so some code 
is duplicated.

I did try to use lib_args but I ran into multiple problems when trying to
use it and allow -HUP or any other -SIGNALNAME, so I gave up and did it
the way I submitted it. 

btw I have seen toybox on github (https://github.com/landley/toybox) but it
is empty. Any plans to move the code there ?
